❔ Is there a way to not let there be user inputs in the terminal?

So it's been like 3 days since I started learning c#, and I wanted to make a small simple game about pokemon battles. Everything works just fine (I haven't finished it yet), but is there a way to not get user inputs in the terminal?

You can use the overload for ReadKey https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.console.readkey?view=net-7.0#system-console-readkey(system-boolean)

Console.ReadKey Method (System)

Obtains the next character or function key pressed by the user.

using System;
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Adds visual settings
            Console.Title = ("Pokemon Battle Arena");
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;

            Pokemon pikachu = new Pokemon("Pikachu", "Thundershock"); //Setting for Pikachu
            Pokemon squirtle = new Pokemon("Squirtle", "Aqua Jet"); //Setting for Squirtle

            //Pikachu's moveset
            while (true) 
            {
                //Makes a variable to check when a key is pressed
                   ConsoleKeyInfo keyInfo = Console.ReadKey();
                
                // Check if the pressed key is 'Enter'
                   if (keyInfo.Key == ConsoleKey.Enter)
                   {
                    pikachu.CastAbility();

ReadKey accepts a boolean as an overload

Determines whether to display the pressed key in the console window. true to not display the pressed key; otherwise, false.
